Why?

I have an Aqara Hub G3 camera on HomeAssistant but I can't control it, with the homekit connection I only have the alarm function.

Info

This is the beauty of it: no modifications to the device are necessary.

You can delete AqaraHome_mod app it without logging out, otherwise the token values ​​​​are expired.

AqaraHome apk mod includes acceptance of the user-installed certificate, (to see the http requests in burp).

Install OK

Update flow

for a successful update of the existing flow without changing the entities in HomeAssistant, follow the steps:

  !! do not deploy without deleting the old !!

TIPS Hub G3

• Turns the camera into an NGINX-cgi PHP server and much more...:

  • AqaraG3-armv7-binary

    

• HomeKit alarm function HomeAssistant:

  • autodiscovery, insert qrcode number

    port change every reboot of device, replace into

    "/config/.storage/core.config_entries"

    

• Live video:

  • hack G3 (delete authentication rtsp):

    • Manual downgrade firmware 3.3.4 (post_init.sh enable)
    • Open telnet QR method aQRootG3 (create post_init.sh)
    • Manual update firmware 3.3.9 (post_init.sh enable)
    • Update last firmware from command custom firmware
      • hack done! (post_init.sh enable)

    • Add /data/scripts/post_init.sh from telnet

      killall -9 rtsp && rtsp >/dev/null 2>&1 &

      or you can see rtsp user/pass (change every boot)

      from telnet command:

      agetprop sys.camera_rtsp_url  # agetprop full (list all prop.)

      

      rtsp://192.168.1.4:8554/360p (/720p /1080p /1296p)

      rtsp://USER:PASS@192.168.1.4:8554/360p (/720p /1080p /1296p)
